Typically, that puff-piece is full of hyperbole and contains lots of power and efficiency numbers that don't add up. The tech media is a willing participant and, while they don't know any better, they don't make the effort to pick up the phone and ask someone who might know a bit more than they do. The classier datacenter providers generally don't do this stuff. For one thing, its an absolute waste of time - it generates a lot of worthless and time wasting leads for your sales force.
